Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Running into An Jiali

The tall shop assistant wanted to reach out and slap Xu Ke’s face, but Xu Ke dodged it at the last moment.

The tall shop assistant was furious with Xu Ke’s evasive action, and just as she was about to say something else unpleasant, the store’s door was opened once more. A woman dressed in a black long dress, wearing black sunglasses, a black mask, and a black hat, walked in from outside. She was wrapped up so tightly that only a tiny bit of overly fair skin was exposed.

Xu Ke’s attention was drawn by the woman’s bizarre attire, but he quickly averted his gaze. In contrast, the shop assistants acted as if they hadn’t noticed her unusual outfit, and even smiled warmly and eagerly. Even the tall shop assistant, who had just spoken harshly to Xu Ke, left him aside and surrounded the woman. noveldrama

All five shop assistants gathered around the woman, showering her with solicitude, while the ignored Xu Ke felt relieved. With no one blocking his way, he walked directly towards the clothing item he had just set his eyes on.

Xu Ke’s tall and imposing figure, combined with his attire, which starkly contrasted with the store’s atmosphere, almost instantly captured the woman’s entire attention. The woman, having removed her hat and sunglasses, looked at Xu Ke’s back with a reminiscent gaze, feeling an inexplicable familiarity.

The shop assistants, perceiving the woman’s gaze, misinterpreted her intention opportunistically, and one of them said ingratiatingly, "I’m really sorry, we didn’t know where this poor loser came from. We’ll kick him out right away so he won’t disturb your shopping."

The tall shop assistant had no intention of giving the woman a chance to stop her and jogged over towards Xu Ke.

Hearing the approaching noise from behind him, Xu Ke spoke as it halted, "I’ll take this piece. Wrap it up in this size for me." He handed her a note, only for the tall shop assistant to slap it away immediately.

"Wrap what? Hurry and get lost. I don’t have time to play your games here. Go as far away as possible and don’t dampen our customer’s mood to shop." She said, reaching for Xu Ke’s sleeve, trying to drag him out of the store, only for Xu Ke to evade her again.

This time, Xu Ke was genuinely angry. His upbringing prevented him from doing anything offensive towards women, but gender wasn’t a valid excuse for repeatedly disrespecting him.

"I’m not talking to you; call your manager." Xu Ke said coldly.

The sudden surge of aura from Xu Ke momentarily tied the tall shop assistant’s tongue, but still thinking of the valuable customer behind her, she mustered the courage to retort to Xu Ke, "What right do you have to see our manager? Do you think our manager has nothing to do and will meet with anyone? Get out before I have to say it again."

"Mr. Xu?"

Just as the shop assistant was about to continue her retort, the woman wrapped from head to toe approached, looking at Xu Ke with certainty.

"And you are?" Xu Ke asked, looking into the eyes the woman had exposed.

"I’m An Jiali. I saw you at the Jin family’s elder’s banquet, but didn’t get a chance to greet you. I didn’t expect to meet you here today; I must be very lucky." An Jiali said, seeing the quizzical look in Xu Ke’s eyes, she removed her mask in front of him, revealing her face, and smiling at him.

An Jiali was a loyal customer of this brand, spending millions each year, making her a VIP client, and her respectful attitude towards Xu Ke was astonishing to the staff present, especially the originally insolent shop assistant, whose face had turned ghostly white. But as the one at the center of the incident, she was ignored.

Xu Ke looked at the hand extended by the woman and shook it, without intending to say anything.

"Mr. Xu, are you buying clothes for a lady? I have some expertise in this area. Would you like some help?" An Jiali was not upset at Xu Ke’s lack of response but instead smiled even more brightly.

At the banquet at Jin family elder’s place, she had noticed this man, who was frequently protected by the Jin family’s young miss and treated as an honored guest by them. At that time, she wanted to introduce herself but was held back. By the time she finished her matters, Xu Ke had already left.

After the banquet, she used all her contacts to find him, but he was completely elusive. She was about to give up when she unexpectedly ran into him here today. It was indeed fortunate.

"No need, I trust my judgment." Xu Ke said coldly, looking into An Jiali’s eyes.

An Jiali thought she had disguised her intentions well, but the intermittent glint of greed in her eyes was fully captured by Xu Ke. Such a look disgusted him, and he naturally wouldn’t give her any chance to get close to him.

Xu Ke’s attitude gave An Jiali a slight jolt. Since she became a movie queen, he was the first man to deny her face so directly, which momentarily visibly infuriated her. However, her excellent control over her expression helped her swiftly conceal the anger, keeping the gentle smile on her face.

"Then I won’t disturb you anymore; please continue with your shopping." After a brief pause without hearing any words from Xu Ke to retain her, An Jiali awkwardly stepped aside to look at other clothes.

Taking the chance to finally speak, the shop assistant immediately bowed towards Xu Ke, as tears rolled uncontrollably from her eyes, afraid of losing her job, falling to the ground unnoticed. "Mr. Xu, I apologize for my previous reprehensible attitude. Please don’t hold it against me and don’t contact my manager. I can’t lose this job. If you remain angry, you can hit me or scold me, anything as long as I don’t lose my job; I’m begging you." The shop assistant said with a sobbing voice.

Xu Ke wasn’t someone who would continue to pester after benefiting, initially wanting the manager primarily due to her atrocious attitude and recalcitrance, but now with her admission, he found no wish to pursue the matter further, for bickering with a shop assistant seemed truly beneath him.

"Alright, just don’t act like this again next time. Wrap up that dress according to the size I gave you." Xu Ke waved his hand dismissively.
